Wondering about Penny??? I'm not sure what Lineham brings to be honest

I was surprised cas lost at home. Friday's game without sounding arrogant is a game we should and could win if the effort and attitude is there. Like wire yed as pointed out are fitness is a major plus at the moment. I think TS will be looking for a better attacking performance this week. It would be nice to see us lead in a game and play some attractive rugby league and put a marker down to everyone else we can win from behind and in front . The defence as been strong so far we just need to improve are attacking in the wing imo. 6 put of 6 would be some start especially as either the two w's will drop points on Thursday.

Linehams finishing of them two tries against hkr were quality but he hasn't set the world on fire yet, but it is still early days, he needs to get used to new players and get used to Atkins parcing or lack of it at times. Line ham will come good in the end

No Dwyer ? You wot mate ?

Will Kevin Penny ever get a good rap on here ?

Made a good break & saved a certain try yesterday. I would like to see some Ormesby flair on the other wing too.

If Penny had a decent centre to feed off then he would be a totally different player

Ormsby and flair should not be in the same sentence, wingers feeding on scraps at the minute

Would like the ball past quicker in the line, in fact just a few passes would be nice

We are getting the results would just like to see a dominant free scoring performance now

It depends how TS wants to play it.
If he thinks we need 3 props on the bench and Clark is fit then l can see Dwyer dropping out.
I'd go with Ratch and Dwyer on the bench.

Regarding Ormsby, I've heard some good stuff about him in the reserves - and I'm not a Penny-basher - but I could see that as a possibility.
(Penny knock on from that run iirc, and it was Penny and someone else who put brought on out). Lineham is still trying to fit in so he'll be given more time.

If I were a betting man I think TS will keep the same 17 (minus Dodds) plus Clark if no other injuries / strains.

If it ain't broke......

Five games, five wins, including three away wins. Why on earth would TS want to change anything at all, apart from enforced changes?

Penny hasn't really put a foot wrong.

Cmon guys, a coach in any sport is not going to make significant changes to a winning side. Confidence and team spirit is the key here.

The big question is how he will use Ratchford (assuming Clark returns).

Can't see any reason to drop Penny, his defence has improved beyond belief since his first stint. As someone else said the wingers are feeding off scraps, the final pass is just not good enough at the moment...hopefully the timing will improve. Still 10 points from 10 and character by the bag full, that glass looks half full to me!

I don't understand this bashing of the wingers. They are getting little room because defenders are terrified of their pace. Watch Evans' second on Saturday. Richards only has eyes for Lineham, regardless of what the right decision is, and Evans scores a walk in. The week before Atkins gets a try by being one-on-one on the try line as the defence is being forced to stay wide.

Take the pace out of the team you can afford to stay a little tighter in defence and shift out if the ball goes wide, but the way it's going at the moment, the width creates the gaps for Hughes/Currie/Atkins/Evans etc score as they have in the last 2 weeks.

You don't change a winning team unless injury forces the change, certainly not for this game. Daryl Clark to come in for the injured Mitch Dodds only for me. King and Cox proved on Saturday that they can come off the bench and do a good job which will cover the prop forward issue. Either Clark starts or comes on from the bench interchanging with Dwyer. The other bench spot goes to Steph Ratchford. Changes will come soon enough when we get into the busy Easter period. I am sure TS will make a few changes for the Easter Monday game in Ull to try and keep the side fresh for what comes after.

i'd probably go with ratch/dwyer two props at the moment on the bench, as ratch does seem to be tackling alright in the forwards at the moment, unless someone can pop up with a vid showing him missing a load of tackles that wasn't obvious at the weekend.
